Consigning with Steel City Vintage Watches

We attempt to make consigning with SCVW as quick and easy as possible for our clients. There is nothing that makes us happier than putting smiles on the faces of our clients and one way we are able to achieve that is by helping our clients sell some of their pieces (so they can continue hunting for their next watch of course).

Here are the steps:

  1. Client sends us their watch / watches
  2. We conduct any necessary research and provide our client with advice on what list price we think would be best to move the watch according to their wishes (for example speed of sale or maximizing sale price)
  3. If required, we take care of any cleaning of the watch.
  4. If discussed, the watch is serviced at cost (client pays for this but due to our relationships, servicing watches through SCVW is as low as it gets!)
  5. If we already have a client who we know that is looking for this particular model or might be interested in the incoming watch, we begin sending out notifications.
  6. We take high-quality photos and provide a detailed description of each aspect of the watch. the brand, the history, etc. 
  7. We list the watch on our website and social media accounts.
  8. Once a sale takes place, we take 10% commission and provide the remainder to our client.
  9. If the client has sold the watch on their own or would like it returned, we immediately ship it back. Client is responsible for shipping costs.

 

Example:

  • Client reaches out with a Rolex Submariner they want to sell.
  • We take high-resolution photos of the watch and give it a thorough description.
  • We list this watch for the client's desired price of $10,000.
  • The watch sells in a few days via one of our sales channels.
  • We take a 10% fee of $1,000.00
  • Client receives the remaining $9,000.
